Reviews

strike-1995 Just rubbish and that's being kind. Why on earth did this film get made.

d_keenan1 This will be a quick review. A wee bit of advice Kevin, stick to EE ads mate.....

beorhouse "The God you might be familiar with cannot help you now." A quote from an American Indian expert in the film. Really? Well, if we're talking about Mammon, which the family obviously worships, then I might agree. But it's pretty evident that the writer meant the Creator of All, and since that is likely the reference, it's ludicrous at best to think for a second that God can't handle a few Indian demons. If that's not enough, since the idea of the pre-1980s atmospheric "slow burn" is popular again, the director attempts it here, and fails miserably. This one is a worthless piece of tripe.

tyingling7766 Before anyone says anything about me watching The Darkness I have this to say: I WILL watch anything with Kevin Bacon in it. That's not to say I will like it though. This has to be one of his worst movies. Let's get going.Synopsis: A family returns from a Grand Canyon vacation, haunted by an ancient supernatural entity they unknowingly awakened and engages them in a fight for their survival. Starring: Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell Director: Greg McLeanThe Ugly: We already had one horrible remake of Poltergeist, why did we need another? Answer: we didn't. Now, this necessarily wasn't a direct remake, this movie added in some elements from two Stephen King novels called Desperation and The Regulators. Go look them up and you'll see what I mean. In the long run, this more like Poltergeist than its own movie.The Bad: The side stories in the movie. Did we need them as well? Not so much. Were they required? Yes they were. Here's why. They had a basis for a movie. At some point they realized they didn't have a long enough movie so they added a couple of story lines to add more to the movie. Not as bad as an obvious remake though.The Good: Here, the best part of the movie was the acting. Kevin Bacon always shines no matter what he does. Radha Mitchell is always good in the troubled wife role. Even Paul Reiser fit the role he was picked for. Too bad they didn't have a better script or director.Final Thoughts: Star power couldn't save this movie. It had potential, but fell drastically short.Rating: 4 out of 10
